## Summary

The Surrey County Council has initiated a planned tender process for the project titled "SSC - CB - Secure M2M Mobile Comms Connectivity". The procurement falls under the goods category with a focus on SIM cards used for secure connectivity to static devices in the field. The tender process is currently in the planning stage, aiming to establish a secure Machine to Machine (M2M) connectivity solution through private APN services. The future notice date for this opportunity is set for 4th September 2023.

This tender from the Surrey County Council presents business growth opportunities in the field of secure mobile communication services. Businesses specializing in providing SIM cards, local area networks, communications networks, and telecommunications networks are well-suited to compete. The procurement process offers a chance for companies to contribute to enhancing data communication for traffic signals, cameras, and static devices, thereby supporting the operational needs of the council's Traffic Operations Team.

## Notice

Often working collaboratively with the Police, Surrey Fire and Rescue Services, the Highways Traffic team (and potentially other teams in the future) have a requirement for secure connectivity to receive data from and send data to static devices in the field. In the past, this need was met with very expensive fixed copper or fibre circuits connecting the device to a network and then Mobile Broadband offered a much more flexible and cost-efficient way to connect but individual network provider coverage dead-spots often created issues. This need has more recently been met through Secure M2M (Machine to Machine) connectivity, which is provided by selecting the best mobile network coverage for each site, aggregating the mobile data traffic from all such locations and providing a secure connection into Surrey Council's Primary Data Centre. By providing this service by Private APN, it has traffic priority level above Public APN so would prove more protected at times of crisis. These connections may be used for traffic signals and signs, cameras etc, anywhere there is a need to communicate with or receive data from a static device The Traffic Operations Team currently have over 350 SIMS in Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras (ANPR), traffic signals, Variable Messaging Signs (VMS) throughout the County. Please use the following link to access Pre-market Engagement documents: https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/ Documents are available by searching for opportunity number RFX1000405. Responses to this Pre-market engagement questionnaire should be communicated to SCC via the project Dialogue function as soon as possible prior to the submission deadline.
